1st Graders Assist With Organic Ministry

SIS First Graders have been helping the SI Organic Ministry again this year, taking care of some cold weather crops in their classroom while learning about plant adaptations. Mrs. Carolyn Simek from the gardening ministry taught them about the importance of worms in a garden too. The class even did a little experiment observing two plants, one with worm casting and one without to see how they would grow differently. The 1st graders last week took their cold weather crops and planted them in the garden with the help of Mrs. Simek, Mrs. Sylvester and Mrs. Vetter from the parish gardening ministry.
